that bit of music you were playing when on the piano just then <,> the last one it's from bugsy malone oh <,,><&>4 do you take <.>the do you go over to the piano very often underneath no i've been TWICE maybe <,> but i'm going more this term <,> cause i'm going to get a JOB so what will <.>you what will you and joanna do about that um go and see that woman at the palms has she got your names and everything i think so but <.>she i had to go back and see her again <,> and i have to wait for joanna to do some practice and i've done some and <.>it's she <&>1:00 has to do <.>some we have to do some together tut so what happened when you went the first time <{1><[1>it seemed odd that they advertised when <{2><[2><.>they <[1><.>well <[2>they didn't advertise oh <,,><&>3 yeah i was just in there having dinner and i asked and a guy gave me the name of the woman to talk to and i talked to her <,> and she said to come back after may i don't even know where the palms is it's by the exchange at the bottom of dowling street <,,><&>3 well not by the exchange queen's gardens oh and what sort of food do they serve nice food <,,><&>3 all different things <,,><&>4 who did you go with when you were there peter <,,> it was the day after we broke up oh laughs and i had to pay laughs laughs and why did the woman say <.>come did she say <&>2:00 come back in the middle of term or something well they <.>don't see in summer they don't need <,,> people they don't need to advertise music <,> to get people to go there and in winter they do because no one will go there <,,><&>4 did you try any other places no cos i hadn't like done any practice or anything <,> tut <,,><&>5 but i think we WILL this term we'll try lots of places and then joanna will come here in august and we'll try wellington places for summer <,,><&>3 we'll go round some of them and just be pushy and i'll <.>gi i'll give c v's to places for more than just playing piano though as well word i'll put c v's everywhere for <,> any old work but we might as <&>3:00 well try for the music if we've got any chance <{><[>word <[>cos the money's better isn't it the money's better and you only have to work in the night time and it's often under the table so we can collect the dole as WELL <,> so if we were getting three or four nights a week that'd be nearly two hundred dollars a week plus a hundred dollars dole plus i'd be able to do cleaning for missus johnston and stuff and any other little cleaning jobs i could get <.>so i mean if we could do it it would be ideal and if it was under the table it'd be great we'd make lots of money <.>but we'll have to see what happened to that girl <.>l laura thomson i don't know she's probably still doing it i don't know if she's still doing the course or not but she probably still living there she <.>probably <,> <.>still she'll <.>be still be playing at the plaza <,> i expect cos i suppose they only <.>em it's possible you might be able to get <,> a job playing piano with <.>a with you know an established group or <&>4:00 something tut but i'm not really good enough i don't think i don't <.>kn i don't know the jazz rules and things properly <,,><&>4 and what about that girl the singer what was her name anna what's happened to her i don't know i don't really want to know cos otherwise she'll ask me to play for her again this girl in dunedin i was at the <.>m music house and this girl was playing the cello and she was SO BAD and when i came out she was going out at the same time and she said oh do you play the piano and i said sort of <{><[>and she said cos um tut yeah um if you're keen and if you're <.>i good at sightreading i mean i don't know how's your sightreading cos i'm looking for someone to just um you know play with me occasionally cos my cousin's <.>gone moved away and that's who i used to play with and i sort of went oh um you'd be better to get a real piano student er go and see them at the department and just cracked up <[>laughs what does john do <&>5:00 um german but is he still doing <,> <{><[>music <[>no no everyone's given up music basically <,,><&>8 so in joanna's year is there just no one doing performance piano um <,,><&>3 i don't think there can be unless um no one did <.>it in joanna's first year there were only two of them and one of them dropped out during the year cos lawrence didn't think he was good enough and then joanna didn't want to keep going with it and so there were none when they were in second year except this girl who transferred from auckland and did second year but lawrence didn't want her to sit the exam cos she was really shit too <,,> and she <.>was she was in my class and she got the lowest marks but she thought she was pretty hot shit <&>6:00 <,,> but she sort of <.>didn't not particularly musical or anything and never did any practice he can't abide people like that mm laughs have you seen rachel smith these holidays no i'll see her on wednesday i expect <,,>

really yep and she's got a brother who's about twenty <&>9:00 four who's probably about to get engaged <,,> they think and belinda's being a bridesmaid for her sister and she's having <.>her her mother's old bridesmaids' dresses which are <.>silk that dark reddy silk <.>like they're <.>like it's silk VELVET the material apparently <{1><[1>silk velvet or something like that and <.>it's <,> red rose it looks <.>like it looks like red roses and it feels like red rose petals apparently and she had three dresses but um belinda's sister hayley is only having two bridesmaids and um the other <.>girl's mary someone she's really tiny so she can wear the BIGGEST of the three dresses of belinda's mother's bridesmaids and the other two have been made into one dress for belinda laughs <{2><[2>laughs <[1>mm <[2>oh that's rather good and belinda's <.>not <&>10:00 belinda's like quite a small twelve in <.>that <.>that <.>she they're just TINY the dresses so she has to have two made into one well that's like that <.>thing did i tell you i did this interview with a woman <,> in the museum who <.>does they do fabric restoration and <.>it's they said if you want to baptise <.>your christen your child in a christening gown that belonged you know to your grandparents or something then you have to have the child done STRAIGHT AWAY cos they were very tiny oh right it's partly cos of infant mortality they tended to have their children baptised earlier but it's more just with the sizes <.>were same thing with wedding dresses yeah mm gosh her mother must have saved them very carefully the dresses yeah i guess the other thing this woman <{><[><.>said <[>got them back off the bridesmaids and stuff mm if you want to do that sort of thing you have to dry clean them straight away before you put them <.>away that if you put them away with <&>11:00 just one wee spot on yeah yeah they come out ruined oh that's understandable so <{><[>what <.>has <[>have you still got your

there and old school friends will all be there and some dunedin people but not a hell of a lot i don't <&>12:00 think cos she wasn't that fast on sending invitations out like she didn't get them all
